## 2024-05-24 - Unlocking parallelism in TaskGroups by replacing actor with struct
**Learning:** In Swift structured concurrency, using an `actor` to manage a `withTaskGroup` where tasks invoke synchronous, blocking I/O (like `FileManager` operations) directly on the actor inadvertently serializes the tasks, preventing parallelism.
**Action:** For stateless components interacting with thread-safe dependencies, use `struct`s or `nonisolated` methods to allow tasks to execute concurrently across threads.

// ⚑ Bolt: Performance Optimization
// Made `findNodeModules` and `directorySize` nonisolated.
// Previously, running these on the actor serialized the TaskGroup,
// eliminating parallelism because synchronous I/O blocked the actor's executor.
// By making them nonisolated, tasks run concurrently across threads.
// Expected impact: ~4x-8x faster node_modules scanning on multi-core Macs.
